eBot - Version 1.0 eBot is a free subscription service that offers free software updates and free or discounted retail software, including the latest game releases by companies like Eidos, GT Interactive, Hasbro, Electronic Arts, MicroProse and Monolith. Digital River has more than 5,000 publisher and retail partners, and more than 100,000 digital products in its library. EBot, an 'electronic robot' that sits on a subscriber's computer desktop, delivers the latest software releases, patches and bug fixes relevant to the user's computer system -- all on command. Once eBot is installed, users enable eBot's Updates feature, which determines what applications are installed on their PC. EBot then searches the eBot database for updates and sends the subscriber only the free updates or software offers applicable to his or her system.
